This just-released Canada Heritage survey is a stunning piece of anti-Palestinian propaganda weaponized vs. critics of the genocide at universities. It is a reprisal against the encampment movement.
Look at the evidence of ‘antisemitism’: a prof calling Israel a Zionist project—as it attests to be.

Disgraceful and a clear attack on academic freedom by Canadian universities.
New reporting from @breachmedia.ca shows that Canadian universities operated a secret national effort to coordinate surveillance and policing of anti-genocide activism and encampments.

UofT features prominently in @breachmedia.ca article. 2 points to consider:
1. UofT initiated network of communications between 30 universities/colleges across Canada.
2.Rather than facilitate existing policies on academic freedom/Charter rights, strategies were shared to actively suppress rights.
